folks definitely want features in RHEL 8, though, and need /something/ to show their security/compliance departments, so I'm going to propose running RHEL7-STIG on RHEL 8, as much as that doesn't sound like the best idea

a co-worker and I were considering having the TMOUT=600 setting not take effect if the shell is opened in a screen session, and instead add a default screenrc to disconnect the screen session after the delay

So it looks like the intent of the control (040160) is to terminate "network connections" associated with communication sessions so I don't think allowing screen or tmux session to remain active would run afoul of that
